Major Softball (League Age 11-12)

Majors is a competitive division and assessments are held before each season to determine placement on the majors team. Players pitch from 40 feet. Games are 6 innings and are not limited by time.  A game may be considered complete after 4 innings and the 10 run mercy rule applies. The first 3 innings are limited to 5 runs, all innings after that are open. Stealing is allowed after the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand.

Players League Age 11 through 12 are eligible to play in the Major Division. Players League age 10 may attend assessments and request playing in Majors.  Please use the League Age Chart to determine your child's League Age.

Please understand that we cannot guarantee players League Age 10 and 11 a spot in the Major Division. A player's placement in the Major Division is based on several factors including the number of players registered by age group, the number of teams in the division, and player assessments. If your child is not placed on a team in the Major Division, she will be placed in the Minor Division.  Final decisions on player placement are determined by the Player Agent, Vice President of Softball and Board.

Team Formation

Major Softball teams have approximately 11-14 players. The league groups children according to age and player assessment, in an effort to maintain a competitive balance among the teams. We cannot guarantee requests to play for specific coaches or with specific players. 

Team Practices

Teams may begin practicing in about mid-March.  How often a team practices is up to the manager. Softball teams generally practice about 2 times per week until the regular season begins in early April.  After the regular season begins, team coaches determine the frequency of practices.

Team Games

Major softball teams play 2 games per week - usually one at 6:00 pm during the week and one on Saturday.  Games are scheduled from early April through mid-June. In late March the official schedule will be published at www.sepll.org.   

Softball follows the Little League Softball Official Regulations and Playing Rules unless otherwise stated in the interleague rules of District #2.

Uniforms and Equipment

Each player will wear a league provided jersey and receive a team visor. Players  will need to provide their own matching “baseball” pants and cleats.  The color of the pants will be determined by individual coaches and teams.

Players will need to bring their own glove to practice and games.  The League provides each team with bats, tees, balls and helmets.  Players are also welcome to bring their own equipment to use.
